Gundam 00: Episode 16

I forgot to say this last time - I like how Setsuna actually says "Gundam" as opposed to "gandamu." It's cute. Not that I don't like the Japanese way. Also, as much as I like Tommy, the OP is too much Tommy and don't very Gundam. But maybe I'll change my mind. And then Setsuna said "Gundamu". Hee. I guess that he practiced that for that other line and said screw it for the rest. Trinity is introduced. Nena (Al's voice from from Fullmetal Alchemist), Michael (Al from Gundam 0080 and Ulquiorra from Bleach), and Johann (Kamina from Gurren Lagann. Patrick almost died back there. Nena's Haro scares me. It's gotnon-Haro eyes. But this episode was mainly flashback. Just as long it doesn't have as many flashbacks as Gundam SEED Destiny.

Gundam 00: Episode 15

Being that I haven't got any comments recently, I'm going to skip the spoiler warning and ~~~'s from now on. If you're reading this blog, then be prepared for spoilers. That's all I'm going to say.

Kati, Natarle 2.0 looks more like Kyoya from Ouran High Host Club than Natarle; must be the glasses. I'm still wondering about the purpose of Saji and Louise. The side character voiced by Amuro Ray's seiyuu said, "I hate adults." That's definitely a shoutout to Mobile Suit Gundam. So Lockon's rival is Graham, and Setsuna's Ali. I was expecting Graham to be Setsuna's rival too. What about Patrick? Next episode we get a new trio of pilots. I'm looking forward to them, but I really hope that they are not as bland as the druggies and Extended from both Gundam SEED and Gundam SEED Destiny. This series needs to learn how to balance between "talking episodes" (like last week's) and fighting episodes (like this one).

New OP by the brilliant green! Yay for Tommy! The PV has Haros in it. I like the song, but it's not as good as "Daybreak's Bell." Okay, episode time. Lockon had a short flashback. <3 THANK GOD, LOUISE'S MOM WENT GOING HOME!!! Oh look, it's Setsuna, trying to bring some meaning to these characters. Patrick got the Zeta Punch from Natarle's evil older sister. Her name's Kati. And now Patrick wants her. Sumeragi and Billy go out for dinner. He doesn't know that Sumeragi's with CB. I don't like them as a paring. Ali shaved, and now he's hard to tell him apart from Patrick. ED time: The songs alright, by Stephanie. But why is Lockon cutting Setsuna's hair... on a beach? It doesn't fit. While Allelujah peels a apple and Tieria (of all people) fires up the BBQ. Or does experiments. Scissors fall in the tide, and then the water is red. And now emo/angst time for Tieria, Allelujah, Lockon, Louise, and Marina. The lyrics apparently say "If life goes on." IF. Then the Meisters are on the beach again, but it's night, and Haro is sitting next to the scissors. IF LOCKON DIES, I WILL CRY BUCKETS OF TEARS.

Gundam 00: Episode 13

After not having an episode last week, I was excited for this weeks. However, it had some ups and downs for me.

While it was nice to see Lockon in the tight shirt, I wish that he did more this episode. At least he did some sniping (and not with his Gundam, LOL). Hong Rong turns out to be a kung fu version of Zorro! Here's our masked man! I still don't know the purpose of Saji, but I think that he will eventually get involved. Eventually.

Newtype and Animage magazines have some spoilers for the upcoming episodes, which will introduce some new pilots, including one who is female.

Happy New Year!

There wasn't a new Gundam 00 episode this past week, but I decided to pop on buy to say hi to everyone and wish them a happy New Year!

Love,

Kristen :)
